This high academic level program is an update on Gas-Related Toxicological Emergencies, and you will obtain it comfortably, safely and with the quality you desire”

The way in which gases affect the body requires rapid intervention because of the high mortality rate involved. There are different spaces in which gas poisoning can occur, either inside the home, in a car, in the industrial field, and generally its clinical manifestations, due to the collapse of oxygen that occurs in the body, are very decisive for the mode of action of the specialist.

In this Postgraduate certificate, TECH has chosen a team of experts in Emergency Toxicology to develop the study content. An academic itinerary composed by a syllabus that condenses the advances and latest scientific evidence regarding the protocols of action, diagnosis of suspicion and confirmation, effect of the different types of gases on the respiratory system, among other relevant aspects.

In 6 weeks of 100% online teaching, we will delve into the varieties of possible poisonings, by smoke inhalation, irritant gases, asphyxiating gases such as carbon monoxide or cyanide. It also reviews the sources of exposure, toxicokinetics and pathophysiology in each case.

Thanks to the Relearning methodology and the study modality, the specialist will advance in a progressive and natural way, without complications towards the new academic goal, because they will have the guidance of expert teachers and multiple multimedia resources that will facilitate the task, thus being an excellent opportunity to get up to date about Gas-Related Toxicological Emergencies.   

After 6 weeks you will be an expert in detecting the clinical manifestations of those patients who come to consult for inhalant poisoning”

This Postgraduate certificate in Gas-Related Toxicological Emergencies contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in Toxicology in the Emergency Room
• The graphic, schematic and eminently practical contents with which it is conceived, collect scientific and practical information on those disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies 
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

You will be able to differentiate the Toxicokinetics of substances for chemical submission”

The program includes in its teaching staff professionals from the sector who bring to this program the experience of their work, as well as recognized specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities. 

Its multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will allow the professional a situated and contextual learning, that is, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive training programmed to train in real situations. 

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby students must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts. 

You will master the latest protocols for the correct management of Gas-Related Toxicological Emergencies"

TECH offers you a new way to get up to date with the most recent advances in Emergency Toxicology 100% online and with the guidance of expert teachers"

Keeping up to date with the latest advances and scientific evidence may seem a challenge nowadays, but thanks to TECH's study methodology based on Relearning and the 100% online modality, this Postgraduate certificate offers the best results in less time. The flexibility of choosing their own training schedule without impositions or unnecessary transfers will allow the student to organize the agenda in a comfortable way. Therefore, they will have 24 hours a day to study the latest scientific evidence about Gas-Related Toxicology from the most reputable teachers. 

Without strict schedules or unnecessary transfers, with TECH you study at your own pace”
